I haven't heard ANY Spaceman 3 since the dance clubs in the early 90s. Hearing it again has the finest edge of nostalgia to it...

" Dancing " to this in a sordid disco in Swansea is one of my favourite teenage memories. It required heroic doses of drink and druggage.

Second only to James Brown, Kraftwerk is the most sampled band on Earth, their beats and rhythm lines providing many, many other bands with foundations for songs. So in some strange way, you HAVE heard Kraftwerk, even if you did not know it. Their most sampled song is called "Numbers", which contains a killer rhythm track that nearly every hip hop act on Earth has a sample of, right next to their sample of James Brown's "Funky Drummer". Maybe Warren will post it later; if not, worth checking out on your own.]]>

I'm (unfortunately) old enough to remember when a severely edited version of Autobahn was in the UK pop singles chart (!) That would have been 1975 (I think?). It sounded like nothing I'd ever heard in my life before. It sounded like music from the future.

Obviously that style of electronica is much more familiar now, especially, as Paul Sizer said, since Kraftwerk have been sampled by so many other acts. But imagine what it sounded like when its companions in the charts were the likes of Mudd, The Rubettes, Gary Glitter (!) and the Bay City Rollers...]]>

Ah...Lush. 4AD were fantastic.Is this the point where they stopped sounding like The Cocteau Twins and went for the pop prize ?

Just looked up Lush on Wikipedia (they passed me by when they were at their peak: I preferred other 4AD bands like Throwing Muses and Belly etc.), and found this out about lead singer Miki ...

Her mother, Yasuko Nagazumi was a Japanese actress who played minor roles in the James Bond movie You Only Live Twice and in TV-series Space: 1999.

Mental. I'm glad the band is getting some nice residuals lately, what with two of their songs appearing on Rock Band. Shoegazey stuff too, not the pop stuff as shown above (De-Luxe and Sweetness and Light, if you're interested).]]>

Thanks for posting that. I'd sort of flirted with Gabriel back in the mid-80s when "Sledgehammer" was inescapeable on MTV. I even picked up the "So" album and discovered "In Your Eyes" before John Cusack. Though my favorite track from that album was and is "Red Rain." Fast-forwarding about ten years or so from then, I and the family went to Sox Flags and I went to see some magician perform. It was pretty forgettable until the final trick when he played "Rhythm of the Heat" as an accompaniment. I went back to the show four more times just to hear that one song (and really only the first two and half minutes of the song). I finally asked the guy what the song was and bought the "Security" CD at the next opportunity. And whenever I read Planetary and see the Drummer working his mojo, that's the song I imagine him playing to charm the machine gods into doing his will.]]>

I saw Suzuki three years ago, it was terrible, he filled the whole music with the usual gibberish but none of the rhythmic fluency. Granted, the band that was playing with wasn't very rhythmic either.

apart from the first three Velvets (and Songs for Drella) for me it's Berlin that is his moment of unparalleled solo genius. i've seen some of the live footage from the tour he did of it the other year though and i'm pretty glad i missed it. his singing voice seems to be on it's last legs - it's a real shame. he did however take Antony (of & The Johnsons) out with him as a co-singer and his version of Candy Says is heartbreaking and judging by the look on Lou's face he agrees. There's an even better solo antony version on youtube too.]]>

New York is another favourite. It was such a return to form, Dirty Boulevard especially.]]>

absolutely. he even appeared on stage at the mandela concert doing a couple of tracks (Dirty Blvd and The Last Great American Whale) on his own playing one of those horrible cricket bat shaped ...
it really was a rennaisance time for him. A year later he and cale produced the wonderful Songs For Drella album. I still, to this day, play Drella every couple of months. the raw honesty of the lyrics and the stark, minimal, almost brutal, instrumentation rocked my world. I remember listening to 'Hello, It's Me' with a head full of acid one night with tears streaming down my face. It's such a heartbreaking song. And living deep in the Welsh valleys with nothing to look forward to but a giro every fortnight that final line from 'Smalltown' - 'There's only one good use for a smalltown. You hate it and you know you'll have to leave!' - felt like it was written directly to me.]]>

and his hair was the prototype for limahl's own shocker hairdo.

the 80's are held in such high regard that it totally misses the mark. same with the 70's. Dave Haslam's book on the 70's, 'Not Abba' sums up what is wrong with 70's nostalgia - the 70's theme bars, 70's nights and so on. They stick to a certain period of time, say 72-75 and stay there, wallowing in a pool of shit.

UB40's demise has tainted their entire back catalogue, which is a shame as 'the earth dies screaming' is still as eery now as it was back then. It easily belongs on a jukebox sitting beside 'Ghost Town' by the Specials.

hell, just from each year, the 80's produced a remarkable amount of fantastic music. A few years back, one obsessive man compiled a box set solely dedicated and collated from 1981. If you didn't manage to get a physical copy you can now download it in it's entirety via here]]>

Ragging on the '80s is the '70s' revenge for the ragging it got in its turn. Like they say, if you can remember the Eighties, unfortunately you were probably there. To be fair, in the Eighties I ...
@Paul Sizer: I too was envious of great UK radio while I was reading Face, Zig-Zag and NME (Somewhere I still have my unused Hacienda club card that I sent off for). The second season of Life On Mars wouldn't have gotten away with the cool music it featured unless a lot of it got played on the air (John Peel RIP). I still have a couple of those blue-label compilations of his.

American commercial radio was utter shit, but by way of consolation, Michael Mann would slip the occasional cool song into an episode of Miami Vice (like PiL's The Order of Death after pop start Fiona offs herself) or The Damned's "In Dulce Decorum" during one of the many drawn-out, slo-mo gunfights at an episode's end.]]>

more interesting than the music on the radio at the time were the shows such as The Tube and Snub TV which went outside the mainstream a little.

your lucky you managed to get John Peel! When i was growing up in the 80´s, we couldn´t get radio 1 in shetland on FM. Only on MW and then the reception was so poor it wasn´t worth it. For many years i truly was "who is this John Peel person they go on about?". It wasn´t till i left to go to Glasgow Uni in ´94 that i first managed to listen to radio 1 properly.

In the 80´s for us, it was just the pure processed major label music. there were no decent record shops of any kind and NME wasn´t on sale in the newsagents until i was older. Our main exposure was usually top of the pops and getting "now that´s what i call...." compilations for a xmas present. As a result a lot of this, a lot of good 80´s music completely bypassed us. I would give you a blank look if someone mentioned The Smiths or Orange Juice, but could hum on demand Hue and Cry´s "Labour of love" Paul Harcastle´s "19". the only record my Mum had was "Mississippi" by Pussycat. Gah!

Oh and folk music, lot´s of local folk music....]]>

1. they released an album called 'Dazzle Ships'. 2. Said album was, at the time, rather odd. Shortwave radio, samples. There's one track that features only these lyrics., "abc 123"3. Organisation. Even if you detest Enola Gay (can't see any other country producing a band that would sing something most folk misunderstood to be a love song that was actually about the US decision to drop an atomic bomb. It has 'Stanlow' on it. Stanlow is the name of an oil refinery. It is a wonderful track.4. Martin Hannett added reverb on the reverb of the early mixes of electricity, which was on Factory records.5. Architecture & Morality is actually a very good album.

All right all you anti-popsong whiners! I think I see what Warren's doing here, and while it's just a guess, I think I see a pattern emerging:
Most of the songs I've seen on this thread in some ...
Most of the songs I've seen on this thread in some way made it to the charts and, by their own admission, were odd ducks. But they did establish going to different sources than the 3 chords/verse-chorus-verse template that by the time of most of these songs was dead and being kept alive with electro-shock. OMD, King Kurt, etc. were all, in different ways, saying "fuck it, I wanna do this pop thing MY way", knowing full well they could fall on their faces and makes asses of themselves. I would say it took more balls for OMD to present themselves as they did, amidst the glitter/dayglo and rock of the early mainstream 80's. He's wearing a cardigan, for God's sake!

But they were trying new things, much more fearlessly than I had seen in years. They were "post-punk", in the sense that they developed new ways to say "Fuck Off" to what was around them, but not just going to rock to do so. They were going to jazz, electronic music, showtunes (Capt. Sensible doing "Happy Talk", anyone?) and having a laugh at it. The fact that "O Superman" did make it to the top of the charts in the UK was nothing short of brilliant, a near flipping of the bird to most rock acts, and hopefully filling them with some fear to produce better music. Which some of them did. Eventually.

Just a theory.]]>

I've just always been a fan of "pop" music, but I know that some people just have an aversion to anything that gets into the charts. My view is that sometimes really genre-changing stuff gets into the charts, and that's really exciting. I'm certainly an optimist, but I take great joy in seeing crap that shouldn't be in the charts get in there and infect all the other homogenized filler around it.

I also like to identify when actual ground is broken, as opposed to when it happens and gets popular at the same time. Look at any big musical sea-change, then look back about a year and I guarantee that we can find a lesser known song that really laid the groundwork for that change to happen. Here's one I always trot out; Ministry's "Twitch" album laid the groundwork for NIN's "Pretty Hate Machine" nearly 5 years ahead (both had Adrian Sherwood on production duty). Heck, Wax Trax records passed on signing Reznor because they already felt they had the album he was pitching (as I have read somewhere, a decision they lived to regret).

Not quite the same, (and more of an extension/continuation of one band), but Joy Division certainly made the listening public more fertile for New Order to become incredibly popular later on.]]>

Pialhead were Big Al from Ministry (and everyone else) with Ian Mackay from Fugazi. And yes, they were harder than nine inch nails. (and Nine Inch Nails too)I still can't listen to Pretty Hate Machine - it hasn't travelled well, which is surprising due to Adrian Sherwoods involvement, although it's mostly a Keith Le Blanc at the helm, affair.

Now, New Order - there's a recording doing the rounds on the blogs of a New Order session recorded at Western Works in Sheffield with Kirk, Mallinder and Watson of Cabaret Voltaire at the controls. There's a great track which is a Cabaret Voltaire / New Order collaboration.]]>

Warren, did you ever find what Colourbox was doing interesting?

Ah, yes, M/A/R/S/S, made right before the huge legal tsunami of sample clearance. I've got two 12" versions of this; one with all the original samples, and one with a few non-cleared samples ...
The one that was sticking with me was a 4 song EP (no title, with a great 23 Envelope cover of a negative image of two horses screwing). They always has a slight spin toward poppiness, but their sound production always slipped enough interesting stuff in to move them above the rest of the herd. Bomb the Bass always straddled that fence as well. Tim Simenon's newest Bomb The Bass album "Future Chaos" is stunning, if you have an interest.]]>

Can't go wrong with the Human League 1977-1980 really. Although that version of Being Boiled, above, is the faux stereo version with added reverb that EMI stuck out to cash in on the 81 success. The original ( grey labelled, not orange ) mono version is by far the better.]]>

M/A/R/R/S sounds incredibly dated nowadays. I kind of feel the same way about pre-chill out KLF, it might have been groundbreaking at the time, but the fact that it's so reliant on now-dated production technology absolutely ruins my enjoyment of the music, not to mention the fact that most of the point of those projects (like M/A/R/R/S) seems to be showing off their cool new toys (ie. The Art of Noise). Colourbox transcend that somewhat because the songs just stand out for themselves, and they were a lot more subtle with the way they used the studio.]]>

Man this takes me back. You guys remember when clubs transformed (almost overnight) from herds of Chino wearing Miami Vice wannabees frowning the night at the bar while their poodle girlfriends danced around gaudy handbags then suddenly they were filled with hundreds of swaety people in tshirts and shorts off their faces cheering like mad and dancing like apes with big smiles on their faces? My friends were all metallers and were horrified by me embracing that scene until they actually got so sick of me raving about it that they acquiesced and never looked back. Heh I recall the Cathouse (the headbangers favourite) in Glasgow shortly after that mashing up Faith No More with 808 state and everyone dancing like maniacs to it.

Warren, you'd like Otto Mühl. After being part of the Destruction In Art movement (inspiring the Who's Pete Townshend to destroy his guitars onstage), Fluxus and the Actionists, he started up a cult/commune (Friedrichshof) outside of Vienna. Friedrichshof did rather well, since many of the members were stockbrokers and computer programmers and could bring in serious money, and lasted for 20 years.

First heard this song on a " Now that's what I call music " compilation , just after The Primitives , and it changed my world.

Sidewalking? I heard it the night John Peel first played it... and then played it another two or three more times because he loved it so much. I still think this was their high point.

They definitely went downhill after Darklands , although I'm still fond of the last album Munki , perhaps because it was about that time that I finally got to see them live.

Their cover of Mushroom is one of the droniest, most obsessive things I've ever heard.

sidewalking always reminds me of sly fox's 'let's go all the way' and vice versa.

@frenchbloke: THANK YOU! Couldn't place the damn melody in my brain, but that's it.

Holy crap, I LOVED this album to death back in the day! I even did a music video for the song "Love Lasts Forever" for an "alternative video media" class in college (it got erased ...
To my mind, Kissing The Pink was a perfect mix of early Human League, plenty of weird instrumentation and prog-rock pomposity, nestled into alternate synthpop. They skewed too pop after this album (trying to achieve that PWL/Stock/Aitken/Waterman sound), but they just appeared a few years ago on 3-4 songs on the latest X-Press 2 album "Makeshift Feelgood". Sounds exactly like they used to.]]>

My abiding memory of John Peel on TOTPs was his ironic dancing, which I still emulate to this day.XTC - while they did a couple of classics I much preferred their alter-egos - The Dukes of Stratosphear!

it's easy to forget just how popular this lot were in their heyday. from wiki "Bad Manners spent 111 weeks in the UK Singles Chart between 1980 and 1983"]]>
